Plan Overview
 
Account Name 1 Year Fixed Term Deposit Account
Interest Rates
(AERs)
Deposits made during the offer period will earn a variable rate of interest at the Bank of England base rate, until the actual start date of the fixed term (shown above), when the fixed interest rate will begin. The interest for the variable rate period will be added to your original investment at the start of the fixed rate period, and will be paid net or gross depending on tax status. After the start date the interest rate is fixed (currently 2.35% Gross/AER) until the maturity date shown above.
Tax Status Interest is paid net of basic rate income tax (currently 20%) but may be paid gross if the appropriate HM Revenue and Customs scheme reference number is supplied. Interest will be paid gross on all deposits of £50,000 and over. As these would be classed as Qualifying Time Deposits by HM Revenue and Customs, it is your responsibility to declare interest received to them.
Conditions for Bonus Payment No bonus payment applies to this account
Withdrawal Arrangements Your money is deposited for a fixed term. No partial withdrawals allowed. Early access to funds is permitted on account closure, when the whole balance of the Fixed Term Deposit Account will be repaid without interest.
Access Access normally only at the end of the agreed term. Scottish Widows will write to you before the account matures to ask what you'd like them to do with your money

Interest Periods

Interest will be applied on the maturity date only.

Definitions

On the interest rate table you may see some terms you are unfamiliar with. These are:

AER — Stands for the Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and compounded once each year. (As every advertisement for a savings product which quotes an interest rate will contain an AER, you will be able to compare more easily what return you can expect from your savings over time).

Gross — This is the contractual rate of interest payable before the deduction of income tax at the rate specified by law (currently 20%)
